It's packing day! I've pulled all of the orders and am getting them wrapped and packed for you. ♥ They should be in the mail by the end of the day tomorrow. This means that everything will be fulfilled except for the audiobook, which we're still working on recording. I'll keep the project open and make an update when the audiobook is finished, and then set it up to download for all of the lovely backers who grabbed it!
In the meantime, if you're curious - I have another project running called Such Sweet Sorrow. It's a standalone, and not connected to the Night Garden world, but it deals with grief, ghosts, and relationships in the aftermath. More info can be found on the story page.
Thank you again for being patient with all of the fulfillment issues! This has been a wild month.
Please ignore the mess, and partake in the joy with me. This is just a quick drive-by update to squeal:
Charlie makes a good helper.
After so many issues, books are finally here! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I will be packing up orders this weekend so that they can go out on Monday.
I hope you all enjoy the story! The books will be in your hands soon!
I have another update for you! I mentioned the situation with the hardcovers in my last update.
The Good - The paperbacks THANKFULLY got to me, finally. They are thick, and they are pretty. The Bad - out of 30 books, 19 of them are misaligned and have shoddy-looking covers. I'm unhappy with how these look, and I don't have enough of the properly-aligned covers to send out to backers.
I do have more books from a different vendor coming on the 23rd, so here's my question— Would you prefer me send out these books now and get them a few days earlier, or would you rather wait for the other books and have something that looks better? I'd rather wait and give you a quality product. But, I want to leave it up to you.
Please vote, let me know!
Either way, I'll have new paperbacks on the 23rd and the hardcovers on the 28th. I'm sorry for the delays.
Thank you for rolling with me through all the hiccups this time through. I appreciate it.
I'm sorry to be coming back with bad news. I was waiting to see what was going to happen with my books, and woke up this morning to a refund on the hardcovers from Amazon. "Damaged or may be undeliverable," they said. They still haven't charged me for the paperbacks. I ordered both versions of these on September 21st, so I'm exceedingly disappointed in this development.
I ordered books from a local printer, and I should have the paperbacks by the 22nd and the hardcovers by the 27th at the earliest. I'm so sorry for the delay.
I'll be throwing a discount in every box for my shop, and a link to a secret backer's tier for Such Sweet Sorrow for a reduced cost on physical books. I've never had an issue with KDP before, but I think in the future I'll skip the POD order for fulfillment copies and just grab my own author copies from a local printer.
You will still get your books! They'll just be going out later than I hoped.
All of the digital downloads (except for the Aloe audiobook; that's still in production) have been sent! This includes an updated version of Lemon Balm; someone alerted me to a problem that the original e-book had where it claimed to be 44% through the book at the beginning on Kindle. So, that's fixed in the new update.
I've also ordered physical copies, which will be to me between October 13th and 17th. This is later than I expected, but the books should be to everyone before the end of October hopefully!
If you are expecting a download and haven't gotten one, it's because you haven't filled out your survey yet. Please do that! If you can't find the link, please comment or reach out and I'll get you sorted!
